Band Student Essentials

Help me give my students woodwinds, brass and percussion classroom materials to enhance their band experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Daye's classroom raised $510

This project is fully funded

My Students

The students involved in the HHS are full of talent and continuously look for ways to express themselves.

They are amazing young people with personalities that would inspire anyone to continue teaching.

These students have chosen to stay in music through high school because they are interested in creating and experiencing music. Many of these students wish to participate in music after graduation.

My Project

In this project, have included a myriad of supplies necessary for several woodwind, brass and percussion instruments. I have included mouthpieces bite patches, cork grease, valve oil and a variety of percussion equipment

As we are entering into the second semester, the needs of the band are growing.

Students in our band program will be relying on these materials to sound great, so that we can put on great high-quality performances.

We asked for the multi-tool to repair various equipment as the need arises. This will help the Band Directors repair instruments with minimal classroom disruptions.

These supplies will help all the students who play these instruments to make music at a high level and grow and individual musicians. The skills gained with having accessories to operate the instrument, will translate into a higher level of success for all the students involved in the band program and will help to instill a high level of pride for the community and school. With your donation, the entire band will grow to achieve higher levels of success and excellence.
